Lindisfarne Castle.

'The romantic North', Northumberland.

Beautiful, rugged coastline, awesome sky. Sondra

Very nice image! Your skills are VERY evident! Composition and focus are superb. Bravo!

another beautiful picture Michael. You seem to have a knack for capturing dramatic skies. I particularly like the contrast of the bright orangy color in the foreground against the dark sky. Great work.

Very striking. Storming the castle doesn't look so good. Enjoyable. Thanks.

Regards.

Hi Michael, excellent composition and great use of those colourful lichens. The sky is undeniably effective holding the eye in the picture by virtue of its darkness, but, (and this is purely personal), I think I would prefer that aspect to be a little less processed looking, others understandably will disagree.

Belleza de encuadre, magnifica luz, color y perfecto encuadre,, saludos cordiales Michael.

The burning in of the corners is maybe slightly over-done for my tastes but I still like it a lot. Great shot.

Thanks John and all. The idea here and in many of my 'Holy Island' Lindisfarne shots is to travel back in time and recreate a medievil world where England was struggling with it's faith, a 'peephole' snapshot of the past. This is the supposed birthplace of Christianity, a struggle in itself. When I visited this Island last year there was plenty to remind me of her past.

Tolkein must have had this in mind... Great perspective.

Beautiful!

A wonderfully atmospheric image, full of mood and foreboding. I love the line of rust-coloured rocks pulling the eye upto the castle. Stunning work.

Simply superb, excellent work,

Fernand
